Trump has received fulsome praise from ex-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and on Tuesday indicated that he might name the “mama grizzly” to his cabinet.

Sarah Palin: Potential member of cabinet under a President Donald Trump.

Asked on “The Palin Update” radio program if he would seek Palin’s counsel or appoint her as a cabinet secretary, Trump replied: “I’d love that.”

“She’s really somebody who knows what’s happening,” added The Donald. “She’s a special person. She’s really a special person. And I think people know that and she’s got a following that’s unbelievable.”

Palin lost her pundit’s gig at Fox News in late spring. Still, the former half-term Alaska governor has 4.5 million followers on Facebook. Despite Trump’s insult directed at her ticket-mate Sen. John McCain, Palin has praised The Donald for “giving voice to untold millions of fed-up Americans witnessing the purposeful destruction of our economy and the equal opportunity for success that made America exceptional.”

In turn, Trump has decried what he calls “nonsense, lies and disgusting lies” aimed at Palin.

The Donald distinguished Palin from the 15 candidates he faces in the 2016 GOP race. “I’m looking at some of these candidates,” he said. “They’re weak, they’re ineffective and to a degree that’s almost hard to believe. And you know, they lack the Sarah Palin kind of strength. You just don’t see that anymore.”

Out on the trail, said Trump, he hears Republicans say, “Oh, get Sarah’s support. Everyone loves her.”

Palin and Trump came together in 2011, when both contemplated a run for the White House. They dined on pizza at a New York restaurant called La Famiglia. The dinner was lampooned by Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show” and by New Yorkers who saw the two prospective candidates eating pizza with a fork rather than their fingers.

Trump noted on Tuesday that both he and Palin have drawn their share of enemies.

“Now she has, like me, some people that don’t exactly love us and we understand who they are and you sort of forget about that,” said Trump.

Huh? The Donald has spent years responding on Twitter, usually calling his critics “losers.” He has demanded the firing of “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd and argued that former Bush guru Karl Rove “doesn’t have a clue.” He has argued that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., couldn’t get a job in the private sector. He has even gone after Macy’s after it discontinued the Trump clothing line.
